IF any one tells you it is easier to suit
man than woman you just throw out
hint that he doesn't know what he is
talking about, said dapper little sales
man of my acquaintance. "NOw, / look
after the gents furnishing counter in our
store, and l earn my salary A man
never knows what he wants. If he wishes
to purchase a necktie, for example, he
lodges about from one style to another,
asks me dozen times what they are
wearing now, and nFtybe ends up by
selecting the first tie he looked at. The
more patterns show him the more unde-
clded he becomes He wants to know
what color think will suit his style Of
complexion, asks what they are wearing
over in New York, and keeps on pulling
over my stock until l am thoroughly dis
gusted and tired out If he wants pair
OF gloves it is the same story He starts
in by saying that he doesn't know ex-
actly the shade he wants, but will recog-
nize 1t if viii show him a few pairs. If
l manage to suit him inside of twenty
minutes or half an hour 1 am doing well.
No, tell you the men are often far harder
to please than the ladies, and I'd much
rather be back where was at the silk
counter. brooklyn Eagle.

A crazy Kentucky German, who was

by drinking poison.
A Pennsylvania boy, 10 years old, hung

Nevertheless, he drifted into the revival

It was rather close in the church, and the
warm air was conducive to sleep.
The drummer yielded to the drowsy god.
and after nodding little sank into pro.

audience sung hymn and the drummer
slept on. Then the evangelist began his
address, snd wound up his fervid ap-
peal with this request:
"Will all of you who want to so to heaven
please rise?"
Every one in the church excepts the
sleepy drummer arose. When the evange-
list asked them to be seated. one OF the
brothers in the same pew as the sleeping
drummer. accidentally brushed against
him as he sat down. The dummer
rubbed his eyes, and, partially awake,
